The Woman At The Well – She’s Not Who You Think She Is

Pamela — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 10:49:06 +0000

The woman at the well in John 4. Who is she? A harlot who goes through men like water? A victim of cruel men who either die or get bored of her? The underlying reasons for those questions are important. But what if we are simply coming to the story with 21st century concerns …

Made Perfect in Love

Today I’d like to share a post by guest writer Teague McKamey. The last time I wrote something on the blog, A Tour of a Secret Garden, I illustrated how nature teaches us something about ‘perfection’ — and that it’s attainable in this life.

Jesus also taught this.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father …

THE SONG – By Guest Author Cheryl McGrath

Listen, be still! Can you hear it? A song carried by the Wind. Such a yearning, longing, indescribable sound. Rising Heavenward. Now soft and barely discernible, now louder, clearer, lifting and falling like waves on the sea. There never was such a sound heard through all the ages this earth has known. You won’t hear …

Esther in Ephesians – For Such a Time As This!

Every year when the Jewish holiday “Purim” is celebrated, (which happens to be today, March 24th) I try to revisit a wonder-full article by Charis Psallo, a blogger at https://charispsallo.me/. Having received her permission, I would like to share it with my small list here. It’s so worth a read, and not just because there is a stunning connection between Esther and Ephesians. But it also sheds more light into the Woman of the Song of Songs. I hope you enjoy it!

An Absolute Captivation by T. Austin-Sparks

I wonder, dear friends, what you covet and pray for more than anything else. For my own part, my coveting, my praying is more than for anything else, a fresh and mighty captivation of the Lord Jesus, a captivation of Christ. Oh, it is quite true, and we know it, that He is our Life, He is our Savior, He is so much to us and we are right when we say that we could not live without Him. And yet, is there not some margin between that and what I am calling an absolute captivation with Christ?

Just To Make a Clearer Distinction (1:4 Con’t)

The last post about “being brought into His chamber” was heavy, I know, and long. I don’t make any apologies for it, as everything isn’t for everybody, and it helped bring things together for me, in my Spirit. I’m not always able to make things easy for other people to understand. Call it a writing style, or whatnot, but sometimes after the fact I hear someone else put it into less, more succinct words, and I’m like, “Ahhh, perfect! So much simpler!” :-) Like the following, which I give credit to another author for writing. Forgiving some of the religious language whose overuse has become problematic in my opinion, I think you’ll get the overall gist.

A Day In The Life Of … by Cheryl McGrath

I’m not on top of things today Lord. I’m more Martha than Mary. I’m sure you’ve noticed. So many things weighing me down and distracting me. It’s not where I want to be, you know? There’s so much to be thankful for….and I am. It’s so selfish of me not to be living …

Gifted With Weakness

The following is a straight-forward and passionate piece that a friend in Germany wrote, and shared with me. It seems very fitting at the juncture here in the Song of Songs, and I am honored to be able to share it with you. :)
